Overview
Literature and the Writing Process combines an introductory anthology with detailed writing process instruction. By seamlessly integrating literature and composition into one multi-purpose text, the authors allow you to first enjoy, understand, and learn from imaginative literature and then write clearly and intelligently about what you've learned. Writing assignments use literature as a tool of critical thought, a method for analysis, and a way of communicating ideas. Careful integration of rhetorical instruction with the critical study of literature will guide you through the allied processes of analytical reading and argumentative writing. As a result, you'll learn how to write essays about the major features that are involved in interpreting short stories, poems, and plays.
The 11th Edition provides a variety of literary examples, across genres, to create a thought-provoking anthology designed to inform and inspire your own essays and literary critiques.
